10 - No School (Indigenous People Day)

15 - PTO Fall Festival

This Monday, October 3, is the last day we are collecting donations for the class raffle baskets. Teachers have sent out their class theme and are hopeful to have enough donated items to make a basket from their class to be raffled off at our upcoming Fall Festival. Some classes have had amazing donations so far and we sincerely thank you for your generosity. Some classes are still struggling to collect enough items to make a full basket so if you were planning on donating, you still have a chance! Items can be anything, small or big, that fits the theme of your child's class basket. The money raised from the basket raffle will go directly to the funding of events such as field trips and guest speakers for our children and other student based needs. Thank you for contributing to make our event a success!

You may notice that an additional button, called Rooms, will be visible at the bottom right of our Attleboro Public Schools mobile app. This button is part of our integrated system of communication and will allow for your child’s teachers/coaches/and other staff to share detailed information (assignments, special events, practice schedules, etc.). More information is forthcoming, and we will have a table set up at Welcome Back Night.

Lunch applications can be found on the Food Services website, including the online application, a downloadable version in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and a link to access all other languages. Please note that even the online application can be completed in many languages. Direct link can be found here: https://www.attleboroschools.com/page/food-services

Commonwealth Mobile Oral Health Services is a mobile dentist unit that comes to schools and is available to all students. You do not need to have insurance to participate. Parents are not billed for services if their child does not have insurance. If your child has a community dentist, please continue to see that dentist, and do not participate in the program.

All families should have received the Mobile Dentist consent form that was sent home earlier this school year. Please let me know if you did not receive a consent form and would like one. The dentist is scheduled to come to Willett on December 2nd and December 5th. If you have given consent for your child to be seen, please make note of those dates and please make sure your child attends school that date as the dentist will not return until sometime in May.

Hello Willett Families!

It was so great to meet and talk with so many of you last night at Welcome Back Night! Thank you so much for all your purchases of our Spirit Wear! The Willett hallways will surely be filled with lots of Blue Pride for the upcoming school year 🐳
